Qin Lu, a young man from Chu, originally had a warm and happy family.
Although his family was not wealthy and his parents had no power, he was loving and harmonious with each other. The small home was filled with warmth and love, allowing him to grow up in love.
However, when he was sixteen years old, an accident happened.
Suddenly, some cultivators launched an attack on Danyang City with hostility, including a Nascent Soul cultivator.
At this critical moment of life and death, Danyang City is about to face a critical moment when the monks are about to massacre the city...
His "gentle and virtuous" mother stepped forward and acted as the hero. She picked up the sword, swung it out with a thousand-foot-long sword energy, and killed the enemy with one sword.
When he was sixteen years old, after living with his mother day and night for sixteen years, he discovered that his mother was a sword fairy who could cut through the nine heavens with one sword, his father was the number one alchemist in the land of immortal relics, and even the lazy old cat at home was a terrifying monster.
This kind of thing should actually be called a surprise, both shocking and joyful, but it is always something worth being happy about.
But who could have known that after killing the enemy, his parents seemed to have encountered a new crisis and left in a hurry, without even having time to explain the situation to him.
Overnight, his happy and beautiful life suddenly changed, his warm and beautiful family fell apart, and he was left alone.
He was a flower that originally bloomed in a greenhouse. Now that the greenhouse has disappeared, he is suddenly exposed between heaven and earth and has to face the wind, sun, storms and rain alone.
How can he bear it
Qin Lu sat in his own yard all night. The next morning, he pulled out the sword his father left in the yard, wrapped it in rags, and carried it on his back to find his uncle Li Shiwen.
He was sure that his parents loved him, but they left in such a hurry that they didn't even have time to say anything to him.
He thought that they must have encountered an invincible enemy.
His parents were in danger, and as their son, he should help them no matter what. He was already sixteen years old, and according to the laws of Chu, he was an adult.
He is a grown-up, a grown-up.
My dad said that a man should at least take good care of his family.
He is already an adult, so he should shoulder the responsibility of protecting the family. He should find his parents and protect them.
"Are you going to find your father and mother?" Uncle Li Shiwen's expression was very interesting.
Qin Lu didn't know why, but he nodded firmly.
He didn't know that his parents were like this in the eyes of his uncle Li Shiwen:
His mother, Li Shiyin, is completely unreliable, with a volatile personality and extremely playful. She prefers picking fights with people rather than her son.
As for his father Qin Ran, he was a complete scoundrel with black hair to the soles of his feet. Even if all the people in the Immortal Relics Land were dead, he would not be able to die.
Li Shiwen recently heard that Xuanqin Prime Minister is Qin Ran’s clone, and the “Yuan” organization that was just expelled was also controlled by Qin Ran’s clone... The entire Immortal Relics Land is at his disposal.
A person like this left his son here, it was 100%, no, 100% intentional.
In view of Qin Ran's evil heart, Li Shiwen didn't dare to say anything. He thought for a moment and said, "Go to Daojianmen and take a look!"
According to his thinking, Qin Ran came from Daojianmen, so he had some connections there; at worst, Li Ang was still in Daojianmen, so if Qin Lu went to Daojianmen, it would be best for him to stay there to practice.
… He was not optimistic about Qin Lu going to Qin Ran.
Qin Lu accepted his suggestion and asked for help: “I heard that Daojianmen is in the Hengduan Mountains southeast of Beichu. It is far away and dangerous.
"Uncle, can you teach me two magic techniques, one for traveling and one for self-defense?"
"Didn't your mother teach you?" Li Shiwen was surprised.
Li Shiyin's flamboyant personality didn't even show off in front of her son? !
"No." Qin Lu shook his head.
"Where's your father?"
“Neither do I.”
"But I don't practice cultivation either!" Li Shiwen was in a dilemma.
But he thought about it, ran back to the house and found a pile of drawings, and showed them to Qin Lu, "This is the drawing your cousin drew when he was practicing sword, see if it can be used."
Qin Lu took them and looked at them carefully one by one.
"In fact, your cousin's swordsmanship was taught by your mother." Li Shiwen looked at Qin Lu, who was now a grown man, and couldn't help but sigh, nagging about the past, "His cousin was very naughty when he was a child, and often failed to complete the tasks assigned by your mother. He was afraid of being beaten, so he drew the swordsmanship in advance, and then worked hard the night before the inspection, trying to learn the swordsmanship overnight..."
As he was still speaking, Qin Lu returned the drawings to him.
"What?" he sighed. "It's no use?"
"No." Qin Lu shook his head, "I learned it."
"Ah?" Li Shiwen was stunned.
Qin Lu took off the sword wrapped in rags from his back, held it in his hand and sensed it for a moment, then let the sword hover in front of him. He leaped up, stepped on the sword, and after a few shakes, he stabilized his body.
He swung his sword and flew around the Li family yard. He came back, put away the sword, bowed to Li Shiwen, and said, "Thank you, uncle. I will go to Daojianmen now."
"Huh?" Li Shiwen was still in a daze.
What the hell? He learned swordplay in the blink of an eye
He was worried and asked again, "How many moves have you learned?"
"Two moves, one is controlling the sword, and the other is sword energy." Qin Lu condensed the sword energy for Li Shiwen to see.
“Hmm…” Li Shiwen didn’t know what to make of it.
"Uncle, I'll come see you later."
After Qin Lu finished speaking, he raised his sword and flew away from the Li family before Li Shiwen could react.
Li Shiwen stood in the yard, looked at Qin Lu's receding back, then picked up the drawing in his hand and looked at it for a long time, doubting his life.
Can something like this that looks like graffiti learn swordsmanship
As he was looking at it, he suddenly remembered something and hurriedly shouted to Qin Lu: "Travel money, travel money, come back and bring some money!"
But Qin Lu had already flown far away and didn't hear his voice.
After Qin Lu flew for a long time, he felt hungry at noon and then he realized that he had no money on him.
All he had on him was the pocket money his parents had given him that he hadn't spent yet.
Not only that, after a little calculation, he found that he only had a pair of clothes that he had worn for two days, a sword of unknown value, and pocket money in a purse, which totaled 103 copper coins.
How can we get to Daojianmen like this
After careful consideration, he came up with an idea, so he found a small town that was not prosperous, landed outside the city, and then swaggered into the city with his sword. After walking around the city, he bought three buns with three copper coins and ate them before leaving the city.
Sure enough, not long after he left the city and came to a valley, two men, one in front and one behind, blocked him and tried to snatch the sword on his shoulder that looked very valuable.
He used his newly learned sword energy to fight two people alone. After suffering some beatings, he knocked down the two mortal men and robbed them of their silver.
Then, he flew away on his sword, while the two men stared at him in astonishment.
The two men looked at each other and tasted the flavor of sting enforcement for the first time.
Qin Lu has a good family tradition and he has rarely fought since he was a child, so this fight gave him a lot of experience.
He also discovered that the sword techniques his mother taught him for fun seemed to be serious sword techniques and had some meaning.
This discovery was confirmed in the following series of battles... From childhood to adulthood, his mother taught him standard swordsmanship. In fact, he learned quite a lot of powerful swordsmanship without realizing it.
The distance from Danyang City to Daojianmen was only a thought for Li Shiyin, who flew on her sword in a few minutes. However, it took Qin Lu more than a month, and he experienced countless big and small things in the meantime.
When Qin Lu arrived at the gate of Daojianmen, he had already become a qualified swordsman with scars all over his body and experienced in many battles.
Standing on the street in the small town in front of the Daojianmen Mountain Gate, Qin Lu looked up at the hundreds of feet tall mountain gate, seeing its majestic grandeur, and imagined the scene when his parents were here... and how he was going to get in.
Those who wanted to enter Daojianmen lined up from the front gate of Daojianmen all the way to the top of the mountain over there.
He had lined up all the way from the hill over there, but he had seen along the way that among so many people, only a few could enter Daojianmen. Most of them came with excitement and left in despair.
After thinking for a while, it was his turn. He still couldn't figure out what was so special about him that the two boys in front of him with fake smiles let him into Daojianmen.
"What's your name?" a disciple asked with a fake smile.
"Qin Lu."
"What kind of cultivation?"
"Middle stage of foundation building."
"What sect?"
"Self-cultivator."
"What are you doing here at Daojianmen?"
"Looking for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
Qin Lu thought about it, not sure about the reputation of his father's pretty boy, so he said: "The sword-wielding elder of Daojian Sect, Li An."
"Looking for the Sword-wielding Elder?" The disciple's fake smile turned into a real smile, and he asked, "What is your relationship with the Sword-wielding Elder?"
"He is my cousin."
"Does the Sword-wielding Elder have such a cousin?" he asked the disciple next to him.
"I haven't heard of it." The disciple next to him shook his head, but he gave his opinion, "How could the Sword-wielding Elder have a cousin who is sixteen years old and has the foundation-building cultivation level?"
They gave the final result: "Come back next time. The Sword-wielding Elder is busy with many things and official duties and has no time to see you."
After waiting in line for half a day and asking just two questions, he was sent aside. The young boy stood aside, scratching his head, not knowing what to do.
As he was about to turn around and leave, someone in the area next to him where there was less queue and where people from other sects could only join Daojian Sect called out to him, "Kid, what's your name?"
He looked over and saw that the person who was shouting was a handsome young man with an immortal appearance and an ethereal temperament. One could tell at a glance that he was a cultivator with profound cultivation.
He clasped his fists and saluted, saying respectfully: "My name is Qin Lu. Qin means three people, and Lu means road."
"Your last name is Qin?" The handsome young man's face straightened and he asked again, "Who is Li An to you?"
"He's my cousin." Qin Lu said.
The handsome young man nodded, stood up, walked to Qin Lu, looked him up and down, and finally patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "My name is Dong Zhongyuan, you can call me Uncle Dong."
"Uncle Dong!" Qin Lu called out obediently, and then asked, "Do you know my parents?"
"Heh!" Dong Zhongyuan laughed for no apparent reason.
Qin Lu clearly saw the sarcasm in that smile. But he felt that the smile was not directed at his parents, and he didn't know who it was mocking.
"I do know your parents. But you must remember that you cannot mention their names in Daojianmen, nor can you say that you are their son." Dong Zhongyuan warned him.
Qin Lu wanted to ask why, but he didn't, because he knew that if he could say it, Uncle Dong would tell him directly.
... So, what on earth did that pretty boy of my father do that angered the heaven and the people? Didn't he leave Daojianmen on his own?! Was he driven away?!
“Yes, he is worthy of being his son!” Dong Zhongyuan saw this, grabbed Qin Lu’s arm, took Dao Jianmen, and said, “I’ll take you to see Li An first.”
Qin Lu followed Dong Zhongyuan into Daojian Gate, saw the majestic and magnificent scenery of Daojian Gate, and was then taken to the main peak.
On the way, he was puzzled and asked Dong Zhongyuan: "Uncle Dong, how could you recognize me?"
"One is because of your mother. She was once on the Daojian Sect's Tianjiao List. You have her blood in you. I am in charge of the Tianjiao List and can sense it." Dong Zhongyuan said, and pointed to the sword wrapped in rags on his back, "You should hide your sword well. It is of very high quality. It must be the natal sword your father left for you."
Qin Lu nodded.
… My mother is really amazing. She is on the Tianjiao List. It’s amazing just by hearing her name.
"In Daojian Sect, there are two people you need to be extra careful of..." Dong Zhongyuan reminded him, "One is Sect Leader Gu Yueming, and the other is Danfeng's Chief Zhang Junyi. Don't let them know your identity."
What the hell? Qin Lu was shocked.
The head and the chief
The first time he came to Daojianmen, he had to be careful of the leader and chief of Daojianmen
They are Dad's enemies? Doesn't that mean he has run to the enemy's lair
Dong Zhongyuan brought Qin Lu to the Deacon Hall of the main peak, found the sword-wielding elder Li An inside, handed Qin Lu to Li An, and then left.
"Why are you here at Daojianmen?" Li An was surprised to see Qin Lu. "Didn't your father take you with him when he ran away?!"
"The situation was urgent and it was too late." Qin Lu replied.
"The situation is urgent..." Li An curled his lips, not believing it at all.
How could Qin Ran have the words "emergency"? How could the Immortal Land not be under his control? He immediately knew that Qin Ran did it on purpose. He deliberately left Qin Lu in the Immortal Land.
"How did you come to Daojianmen?" he asked Qin Lu.
"I wanted to find my father, so my uncle asked me to come to Daojianmen to find you." Qin Lu replied.
Come to Daojianmen...
Li An sighed and said, "You really shouldn't have come. Daojianmen is in trouble right now."
Current situation:
With the help of Daojianmen, Xuanqin has unified the land of immortal relics; with the help of Xuanqin, Daojianmen has gathered and merged the small sects in the land of immortal relics; the two sides joined forces to drive out the demonic organization "Yuan" hidden in the land of immortal relics.
The human world is unified, the immortal world is unified, the evil ways are eliminated, the sky is clear, and everything is ready. It is time for the wind of change to blow.
The Immortal Relics Land is about to usher in the biggest change in history.
However, at this time, the imperial court and the sects failed to reach a consensus on "the division of the number of immortal positions after Xuan Qin was transformed into an immortal dynasty."
Conflicts of interest and people's unrest are the focus of this turbulent time!
Li An looked at Qin Lu, thought of his father, and suddenly realized that Qin Lu was left behind by Qin Ran on purpose...
Does that mean that Qin Ran intends to have Qin Lu join this epic transformation? And if Qin Lu joins this chaos as Qin Ran's son, then he will be the one who breaks the situation...
Li An understood. He took Qin Lu out of the Deacon Hall and came to his residence.
"The situation is complicated now, and your identity is sensitive, so stay here first and don't act rashly." Li An said, "I'll go find someone who may know where your father went."
"My identity is sensitive?" Qin Lu chewed on this sentence. After many experiences, he finally understood that his parents were indeed influential figures in Xuanqin.
In this Jianmen, Uncle Dong and his cousin gave him the illusion that he was a prince who had fallen into the human world.
Qin Lu lived in Daojianmen for half a year. During this period, apart from trying to prevent Gu Yueming and Zhang Junyi from discovering him, he spent the rest of his time practicing.
When he began to practice seriously, he finally understood what kind of body his parents had left for him.
If nothing else, just two:
One is the speed at which he practices new techniques. As for simple sword techniques, he can even learn them at a glance, that is, when he fights with others, he can learn other people's sword techniques; for more difficult ones, he needs a few more days, and he has not yet encountered a sword technique that he cannot learn.
One was the speed of his cultivation progress. His cousin Li An panicked many times and told him not to go so fast, begging him to slow down his progress.
This is the foundation of practice his father left him.
Dad always said that the Li family had strong genes and that he inherited his mother's body and brain; but my cousin always said that he inherited his mother's body and his father's brain.
Half a year later, he was in the late stage of foundation building, his base was solid and he could fight against the golden elixir.
On this day, his cousin brought a man from outside to meet him. He felt familiar with him. When the man took off his cloak, he asked in surprise, "Dad?"
The man shook his head and said, "I'm not your father."
"Then you..." Qin Lu pointed at him and asked in confusion, "Why do you look exactly like my dad?"
Qin Ran's Daojianmen clone was silent for a moment, not wanting to say that he was a clone, so he just said, "The reasons are complicated, and you don't need to know. I don't know where your father went, but someone in Xuanqin knows."
"Who knows?"
"Xuan Qin Prime Minister."
"How can I find Prime Minister Xuan Qin?"
"It should be about how to make him come to you." said Dao Jianmen's clone.
"What should I do?"
"Two years later, it will be Daojianmen's Daoqian Knock Gate." Daojianmen's clone said, "If you rank among the top ten in Daoqian Knock Gate, you will become a Daojianmen genius. At that time, Xuanqin Prime Minister will personally meet you and lead you to serve as an official. You can take this opportunity to ask him where your parents are."
"I know that if I want to ask someone to do something for me, I have to make myself valuable." Qin Lu nodded.
Hearing this, the strange man in front of him who looked exactly like his father, touched his head with satisfaction, just like his father did.
In order to enter the top ten of the Dao, Qin Lu went out to practice. He went deep into the Hengduan Mountains and finally even reached the deepest foggy area.
Here, he saw the ancient tree that called him the son of an old friend, the ghost monkey that smelled his scent and chased him, and a ghost named Jian Yuanjie who was extremely resentful towards his father...
He survived a near-death experience in the foggy land, and his cultivation reached the middle stage of the Golden Core. He returned to Daojianmen and participated in the Daoist knocking ceremony arranged by his cousin.
After many battles, he managed to squeeze into the list of geniuses with his cultivation level of mid-stage Jindan.
It was only at this moment that he realized one thing: if he participated in the knocking on the door in front of the Tao, wouldn't he be exposed to his father's enemies, Zhang Junyi and Gu Yueming
He finally realized that he seemed to be being used as a gun.
He was deceived and sold by his cousin and his father's doppelganger. It was the first time that the young man tasted betrayal.
However, by this time, he had already entered the game and became a chess piece, with no chance of retreating.
Therefore, as a chess piece to break the deadlock, he was involved in this unprecedented major change in the immortal land, and personally promoted the process of transformation of this ordinary dynasty into an immortal dynasty.
When he struggled to survive in the vortex of power of Xuan Qin and experienced several life and death betrayals, and came in front of the last big boss of the court camp, Xuan Qin Prime Minister, he found that the man in front of him was very familiar.
"Dad?" His pupils trembled.
Xuan Qin's chief minister smiled and shook his head at him, just like the "old father" of Dao Jianmen a few years ago, and said, "I'm not your father."
Qin Lu asked: "Who are you?"
"You have the answer in your mind, right?" Xuan Qin's clone said with a smile.
Qin Lu is no longer the young boy who just started out. He has experienced countless life and death trials.
He already knew the man behind the rise of Daojianmen and the unification of Xuanqin, and knew what kind of person his father was.
He also knew that this immortal land hid his father's clone.
"Do you know where my parents went?" he asked.
"They have left the immortal ruins." said Xuan Qin's clone.
"What exactly?"
Xuan Qin's clone stood with his hands behind his back, looking into the distance, and said faintly: "Maybe it has something to do with the 'Yuan' organization."
Although he was sold out by his cousin, Qin Lu is still a member of the sect after all, that is, the Daojianmen clone is a member of the sect; and the Xuanqin clone is a member of the court.
But now he found that both Daojianmen and Xuanqin were clones of his father...
For a moment, his CPU was burned out.
"Why are you hostile to each other?" he asked Xuan Qin's clone foolishly.
Xuan Qin's clone smiled and talked to him about a higher level of game than "number of quotas": "The art of the emperor lies in balance. From the perspective of Emperor Xuan Qin, whether it is a cultivator from the sect or a cultivator in the court, they are all cultivators of Xuan Qin. He doesn't care. What he cares about is that the cultivators in the sect and the cultivators in the court should be roughly balanced.
"But, I am also in the court and the sect. I don't care which side the cultivators are on. I can also adjust the number of cultivators on both sides..."
Qin Lu felt a chill down his spine when he heard this. So, actually, this round was a game between Emperor Xuan Qin and his father's clone
"Power conflicts have turned into conflicts of interest. There are two ways to resolve conflicts of interest. Your father once taught Dao Jianmen. I wonder if they have forgotten them." Xuan Qin's clone continued, "I will teach you now, which is to increase income and reduce expenditure.
“Increasing revenue will make the profit pie bigger; cutting costs will reduce the number of people sharing the pie.
"Now that Xuan Qin has just transformed into an immortal dynasty, the domestic situation is unstable and the strength is not strong. We cannot wage wars and make the pie bigger. So the Emperor Xuan Qin and I have reached a tacit understanding and decided to reduce the number of people sharing the pie..."
Emperor Xuan Qin was not the one who was reduced, and Dad's clone certainly wasn't either, so it was only...
Qin Lu's heart trembled, and he said to Jianmen.
They want to take action against Daojianmen.
And he, after thinking it over, seemed to still be the one who broke the deadlock.
The situation is full of twists and turns, with games within games and pits within pits. After the fog, there is still fog. Gu Yueming, his father's clone, and Emperor Xuan Qin are all old monsters, each one more terrifying and scary than the other.
The current situation is as tense as a powder keg that may explode at any time.
These old monsters were too terrifying. Qin Lu knew that he couldn't beat them. He remembered the name his father gave him...
He wants to run away.
But he couldn't get away. He couldn't get away.
The situation in Xuan Qin erupted, the battle started, and many parties were in chaos...
Another two years.
Daojian Sect fell, and the situation in Xuanqin became clear again; Emperor Xuanqin regained power and began to settle accounts.
Before Xuan Qin's clone was liquidated and before Xuan Qin's game of chess entered the next stage, he sent Qin Lu to the long-distance teleportation formation to the Tianhai area.
"You may be able to find the real body in Tianhai Region." He said.
"What about you?" Qin Lu asked.
"I am still useful. I will not die." Xuan Qin's clone said, "Even if I die, I am just one of your father's countless clones."
When they arrived at Tianhai Area, because it was the teleportation array of the "Yuan" organization, Qin Lu climbed up along the "Yuan" organization and continued to look for his father.
However, when he followed the clues, went through hardships, cultivated himself to the level of a spirit, climbed to the top of the "Yuan" organization, and found his father, he found another clone.
Even this clone has his own wife...
Qin Lu wasn't sure if this counted as his father cheating.
At this time, more than six hundred years had passed since he came out with a sword to find his father. Now, he no longer wanted to find his father. He just wanted to know how many clones his father had and where he had been wandering.
And just as he wished, over the next few thousand years, he saw his father's clones in different forms, lives, and races in different locations in various territories of the 960 domains.
He always finds his dad in strange places.
It was not until this year, when he had passed the immortal tribulation and became a true immortal, that he finally saw his father's true form.
"Is it still a clone?" he asked his father with a smile.
Qin Ran came over and hugged Qin Lu tightly, laughing and said, "Of course not!
"Where's Dad? Is it fun?"
He raised his eyebrows at Qin Lu.
Qin Lu rolled his eyes: "So boring!"
He looked up and down at his father's cultivation and said mockingly, "You are also a true immortal?"
He pointed at Li Shiyin and said, "My mother's cultivation is much higher than yours!"
“She ate up all the resources, so of course her cultivation level is high…” Qin Ran said with a smile, “Your mother is already a Golden Immortal, and will soon become a Daluo Golden Immortal. A Daluo Sword Immortal! You can be more arrogant in the future!”
"Yes, yes, you dare to be so arrogant!" Qin Lu said disdainfully, "Above the Golden Immortal there is the Mysterious Immortal, and there are nine levels of the Mysterious Immortal. Above the Mysterious Immortal there is the Dao Ancestor, and above the Dao Ancestor there is the Great Wilderness Unknown..."
“Hahaha…” Qin Ran laughed, “So, in life, you should enjoy it while you can, cherish every moment, and don’t think too much.
"Come on, let's find a place to have a drink."
Zhuifeng, who was already a divine beast, changed to the size of a kitten, jumped over, landed on Qin Ran's shoulder, and said to Qin Lu with a smile: "We have actually been keeping an eye on you for so many years. We would go to see you from time to time."
"I've been in life-and-death crises so many times, but I never saw you take action?" Qin Lu expressed his doubt.
Li Shiyin stretched out her hand and grabbed his ear, saying, "If I hadn't taken action, you would have died hundreds of times!"
“Hundreds of times?” Qin Lu pointed at Qin Ran, “Most of them were his tricks. He deliberately lured me into it!”
"Huh?" Qin Ran was surprised. "Did you find out?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?" Qin Lu said proudly.
"Your IQ is on par with your mother's..."
“Qin Ran?” Sword energy appeared and disappeared between heaven and earth.
"Hey!" Qin Ran said, "Let's find a place to drink!"
The family of four walked into the distance, stepping on the void. Qin Ran walked in the middle, Zhui Feng squatted on his right shoulder, and Li Shiyin was next to him, holding Qin Lu's ear with one hand...
